I wanted a chair that was comfortable. This chair has a wide seat, a high back and a little spring to it. The first chair took us 25 minutes to assemble, the second chair 5 minutes! It wasn't difficult once you know what you are doing. They look to be made well, solid construction. Quite comfortable without cushions. This is just what I wanted so I could sit in the garden for 10 minutes without having to pull out the cushions every time.   They have a taupe/brown color mesh. This is just what I wanted.
